Obrigado, works nicely!

Hmm, ok... But I don't really care about QjackCtl being minimized, all I 
want is for my laptop to power down. How does QjackCtl prevent the 
system from shutting down anyway? If it weren't for QjackCtl, I wouldn't 
even know that an application has the power to do this.

Actually, in the case of QjackCtl, the whole "close-button minimizes to 
systray" behaviour never made much sense to me, mainly because it merely 
minimizes the main window, but leaves other windows (connections, etc.) 
open.
I like the systray icon because it allows me to quickly check JACK's 
status while working in other applications (or while making music...). 
Other than that, I think I'd prefer if QjackCtl and the window manager's 
close-button always worked like they do when the systray icon is 
disabled.


Cheers,

Dominic
